Yes, I'm sure they did. They have a lot to keep track of in this group. I certainly don't mind adding a helping hand when I can.

Third review of the month! I've just finished Darkness Falls. It's a little late (published on the 7th), but not too bad. I thought it was a great addition to the series.
Darkness Falls review
Ive added 4 this month already. OOOOPS!
Broke my goal of not adding any books. Just added a read now book -
I finished one - Reckless Girls.I know a couple of other people are reading it right now, so I don't want to say anything about it yet.
It is my first 2022 publication read! Am on track. haha

I'm working on it! :) I haven't had much sit down reading time recently. Way to go being on track with your reading. I'm almost there.

There is no way I'll be finishing any more NetGalleys this month. I'm trying to quickly wrap up one more book to finish a challenge, then I need to work on updating all my threads for the new year. So, I'm just going to update now. Beginning of Month:

How to Participate:
The NetGalley Challenge is designed to not only get you to read your NetGalley books, but to also advertise your reviews for others to see because after all, that's what NetGalley is all about.
Though you may pop in/out at any time, the NetGalley Challenge will run on a monthly basis so you are able to see progress being made.
1. At the beginning of the month, post any/all of the following:
a: How many books on your NetGalley shelf
b: What books are on your NG shelf
c: What your Netgalley feedback ratio is
2. During the month, read the NetGalley books that you can AND update your post with your reviews. (You can do this after each book or wait until the end of the month.)
3. At the end of the month, update your post and with:
a: What books you read
b: Link(s) to your review(s)**
c: Your updated shelf count
d: Your updated books to read
e: Your updated ratio
Then start a new post for the next month!
